Brandon Marshall commented on the post, Case Question: When Hackers Turn to Blackmail, on the site 9 years, 8 months ago
So, I posted what I thought about giving money to the attackers above in reply to jeheller’s post. I just couldn’t do it. But, I wanted to expand some more on the questions presented. The hackers introduced some form of malware to the hospital, likely from someone opening an attachment on an email or going to a webpage they shoudn’t have. (Lesson…[Read more]

Thanks for the post jeheller. I agree partly with what you said in how to respond to the attack, but my question to you is, would you pay the attackers? If through the negotiations you came to a deal to give them a sum of money, would you do it? For me, this isn’t something I could do. Morally, it would tear me up. I would have to find an…[Read more]

I would like to speak on question 1. I feel pretty secure in my daily transactions at businesses. I have even used my debit card at Target since this hack without the thought even crossing my mind about someone stealing my information. While I know doubt think that the people effected by this and similar hacks are harmed and may not see things the…[Read more]

Brandon Marshall commented on the post, Case Question: Airbnb — Information Sharing, on the site 9 years, 8 months ago
I think there had to be a balance of information given and withheld in both of these questions. While you want to give enough information for host and renter to make a decision on whether they are going to stay somewhere or whether they are going to take someone in as a renter, you also want to leave a level of privacy for both. I think renters…[Read more]

Good post Rosemarie. I totally agree with you that there is both a plus and minus to technology. I believe, like you, that while technology has led to some vulnerabilities to fraud, it has also led to a decrease or elimination of vulnerabilities in others. I receive a text from my bank every time my debit or credit card is used, thus letting me…[Read more]

The controversy should be something familiar to a 5-year-old. They are used to fighting over whether there way is right. Remember the whole “My daddy is cooler than yours” debate? This is what we have with the controversy over Yelp’s review.Yelp’s daddy is cooler than others, at least that is what they say. That is how I would explain it. To…[Read more]

Good post Nicholas. I don’t have the ability to control my power outlet by my phone, but I do have the ability to control the light color. Using Philips hue bulbs I can change the color to red, blue, green, etc. I can turn the light off also. I also use an app called IFTTT that allows me to set a timer for the light (like in the morning when I get…[Read more]

I am always running out of juice for my phone. I use a Monster portable re-charger, but that barely keeps my phone going for a couple extra hours. The charger you have seems to be able to charge a lot more. Its interesting to hear about the laptop bag. That is a very creative way to keep you connected.

I don’t know what I would do without the apps “Evernote” and “Nozbe.” I use “Evernote” to store information I may need to access every once in awhile, such as business cards or recorded meetings. It also helps me get to inbox zero, as I can stick an email in there easily when I have to get to it at another time. The fact that it syncs to all my…[Read more]
